The gospel is at the heart of the Christian faith. If Christians do not know how to share their faith, they have probably never been to “boot camp.” The gospel should be so much a part of you that presenting it becomes second nature. Here’s an easy way to do just that. The first … Continue reading Using the 3R’s to Spread the Gospel→

The other night I watched the CNN “Town Hall.” It made me sick to see children who are victimized by a murder be exploited for ratings and victimized again by politicians. I understand the pain of people who have lost loved ones and the lingering trauma that affects survivors of life-threatening events. As a war … Continue reading Gun Control: Making Citizens into Victims→

Do Nothing Edmund Burke once said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” But politicians at every level (local, state, and national), and from both parties have convinced us that they will lead us to the life, prosperity, and utopia we want. They know the way … Continue reading Who is the Boss? Politicians Are Not Your Leader.→

How relevant is apologetics today? How big a role should apologetics play in a Christian’s witness? And, above all, is apologetics biblical? Let us briefly consider these questions. To see just how relevant apologetics is today, we need only take a quick survey of the world around us. Whether we look at the world on … Continue reading Apologetics: Is It Still Relevant?→

The Museum of the Bible opened in Washington, D.C., last year, and not a moment too soon for a city (and nation) plagued by scandal. In addition to ongoing investigations by a special counsel and various congressional committees, sexual harassment seems to have infected the nation's capital and the country like a scourge. One doesn't have … Continue reading Museum of the Bible→

When summing up the year now fading, the catchall phrases that generalize a common view don't work. It was neither the best of times nor the worst of times. In our fragmented politics, the center does not hold, and moving out to the edges of the frame doesn't hold us together. There's lots of e … Continue reading Step Out The Bubble→

What is the foundation of a sound, lasting Christian faith? The Lord prayed on the night He was betrayed, “Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth” (John 17:17 NASB). As central and important as all the means of grace God has given His people are, it is clearly His intention that the Spirit … Continue reading DOES IT MATTER?→

One of the clearest expressions of the Bible’s view of itself is found in 2 Peter 1:21: “No prophecy ever came from the human will, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”2 The origin of Scripture is God; the means of expression is human language. Yet, even in … Continue reading All Scripture is God-breathed→

Western Christians have little connection with history. Events of thirty years ago are easily forgotten and generally considered irrelevant to “today.” So it is not surprising that most evangelicals are blissfully ignorant of a vitally important document on the topic of inerrancy produced by leading evangelical scholars. The Chicago Statement on Inerrancy, first published in … Continue reading Western Christians→

The Council of Trent emphatically proclaimed that the Bible alone is not sufficient for faith and morals. God has ordained tradition in addition to the Bible to faithfully guide the church. Infallible guidance in interpreting the Bible comes from the church. One of the criteria used to determine this is the “unanimous consent of the … Continue reading The Infallibility of Apostolic Tradition→

Jesus, in a familiar scene, is confronted by the Pharisees: “Tell us, then, what is your opinion: Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?” Knowing their malice, Jesus said, “Why are you testing me, you hypocrites?

What is the goal of taking the statues down? There is an old saying, those who do not learn from history is doomed to repeat it. Do we want to repeat the Confederate? I don’t.
